Question

A soccer team won three fourths of it's games. The team won 18 games. How many games did the team play?

Answer 1

They played 24 games

Explanation:

The number of games won is equal to the number of games times the fraction of games won

18 = games * 3/4

Multiply by 4/3 to isolate the variable

18 *4/3 = games *3/4 *4/3

24 = games

They played 24 games
